CEO Paul Warley recently joined @SpaceShow podcast with Dr. David Livingston to discuss:
🌌 Space missions and power requirements, detailing the different power levels for various orbital ranges
💲 The cost and efficiency differences between various solar panel technologies for space applications
💪 The development and specifications of Ascent's flexible #solar panel technology, highlighting its advantages over traditional silicon wafers, including being 3-10x lighter and providing roughly 4x the power. It also highlighted its durability and competitive advantage over Chinese alternatives in the consumer market.
💡 Ongoing R&D efforts to improve product efficiency and reduce waste, including work with perovskite coatings and a collaboration with a company that has developed 400 patents around perovskite technology.
⚡ Ascent's focus on DoD and commercial space markets, with plans to expand in MEO, GEO, and #lunar applications in the coming years.
